Chapter 693: The Millennium Dharma Assembly, Going to the North Court
Huohuashan Cave Mansion.
In the secret room, Zhou Yang sat cross-legged with his knees crossed, making spells with his hands. From time to time, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of pure magic power, which fell on the purple strange flower floating in front of him, and used the secret method to sacrifice the object.
It has been thirty years since he returned from the wild jungle.
In the past thirty years, except for the first few years when he was recovering from his injuries, he never did this. In the following twenty years, he would spend half an hour doing this after practicing every day.
Back when he was in the underground magma sea, Zhu Zizhen suggested that he transform this strange purple flower into an external incarnation, but he did not adopt it because he had better arrangements.
Back when [Master Donglai] was spreading teachings across borders, there was an extremely mysterious secret method for refining weapons, and now he is using this method to sacrifice this strange purple flower.
Now, through his more than twenty years of persistent sacrifice, this treasure is almost completed.
Zhou Yang is full of expectations for this.
You must know that in order to worship this treasure, he rarely left the retreat room for more than twenty years. Almost all the cultivation he gained from hard training for more than twenty years was devoted to this treasure.
It seems that the magic power he spit out when refining this treasure contains a ray of vitality, and one mouthful is worth his hard work for a day.
If he hadn't been refining the fire-red crystal stone obtained from the [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] during his cultivation over the years, I'm afraid that not only would his current cultivation level not be able to advance even an inch, but he would also be set back by several decades!
But it's all worth it!
As long as he can successfully refine and complete this treasure, the harvest will completely make up for these losses, and will bring countless assistance to his practice and fighting in the future.
About half a year later, Zhou Yang finished worshiping the strange purple flower as usual, and suddenly his expression changed, as if he had discovered something.
In the cave outside his retreat, he saw his Taoist companion Xiao Ying, who was accompanying him during his retreat, and his incarnation who was doing some chores, silently holding an invitation made of spiritual jade in his hand.
This invitation letter comes from the [Liuyun Merchant Alliance], and it contains an invitation for Zhou Yang to attend the "Millennium Dharma Conference" held in Liuyun Immortal City thirty years later.
The so-called "Millennium Dharma Conference", as the name suggests, is a Dharma discussion conference that is held only once in a thousand years.
This can be said to be the highest-level event in the entire "Linghuan World".
This "Millennium Dharma Assembly" is held every one thousand years, and each time it is held in a different world of immortality. The last "Millennium Dharma Assembly" was held in the world of Beiting Continent, and this time it is the turn of Liuyun Continent.
The world of immortality.
And every time the "Millennium Dharma Conference" is held, Nascent Soul stage monks from various realms of cultivation can go to the place where the Dharma Conference is held to sit down and talk with other Nascent Soul stage monks and exchange their own spiritual insights.
Naturally, these many Nascent Soul stage monks finally got together, and of course it was not just about exchanging practice experiences, but also the exchange of various treasures and spiritual objects.
If a Nascent Soul monk wants to find some treasure, exchanging it with other Nascent Soul monks at the "Millennium Dharma Assembly" can be said to be the fastest and most effective way.
However, as far as Zhou Yang knows, in the past few thousand years, there have been fewer and fewer Nascent Soul monks who still come to participate in this "Millennium Dharma Assembly".
This is not only because the number of Nascent Soul monks in the world of immortality today is not as large as before, but also because there is no peace and stability within each world of immortality. Many Nascent Soul monks are afraid of being plotted by their enemies after leaving their local world of immortality.
But even so, the number of Nascent Soul monks gathered for the "Millennium Dharma Conference" can still reach hundreds.
This "Millennium Dharma Conference" is held in the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent. Nascent Soul cultivators from the local Immortal Cultivation World like Zhou Yang will receive invitations as usual.
Because it is held in the local immortal cultivation world, whether it is to avoid losing prestige in the local immortal cultivation world, or to exchange cultivation experiences and treasures with other Nascent Soul monks at the dharma conference, most of the Nascent Soul monks who received the invitation letter
, basically everyone will go to attend.
Of course Zhou Yang will not miss this event.
However, there are still thirty years before the "Millennium Dharma Conference" is held, so he doesn't need to rush to prepare for it.
So after playing with the invitation letter, his incarnation put the things away, and then took out a [Yimu Spirit Bead] to absorb the Yimu essence inside and use it to practice certain wood magical powers.
Zhou Yang now has a lot of spiritual stones, such as [Yimu Spiritual Beads], and he now uses the spiritual stones to find people to order them.
A golden elixir-level monk who practices advanced wood-type skills can spend about three to five years collecting Yimu spiritual energy from places with strong Yimu spiritual energy such as wild jungles and condensing a [Yimu Spirit Bead].
The [Yimu Spiritual Beads] used by Zhou Yang to transform and practice his magical powers were ordered from those golden elixir stage monks. Each one is worth 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones, which is worth a portion of [Purple Heart Chalcedony], and he once
I ordered as many as twenty pieces.
From the perspective of an ordinary monk, this is obviously not worthwhile.
But for Nascent Soul cultivators like Zhou Yang, spending some spirit stones is nothing as long as they can save their own time.
He is the man who owns a huge spiritual stone mine!
Two years later, the strange purple flower obtained from the underground magma sea was finally completed by Zhou Yang.
"receive!"
In the secret room, Zhou Yang quickly formed seals with his hands and shouted. The purple strange flower in front of him, which he had been cultivating for nearly thirty years, suddenly turned into a ray of purple light and sank into his body, appearing directly in his Purple Mansion.
In the Zi Mansion, the little Nascent Soul, which was more than three inches tall, seemed to have been prepared. When the purple strange flower came in, he immediately made a move with his hands, causing the purple strange flower to fall to his feet and turn into a flower bed.
, and then sat up cross-legged.
boom!
When Nascent Soul sat down on the flower bed made of purple exotic flowers, an extremely pure purple mist immediately overflowed from the flower bed and enveloped the entire Nascent Soul.
Comfortable! Extremely comfortable!
The feeling coming from Nascent Soul made Zhou Yang feel as if he had jumped into a hot spring pool on a snowy day, feeling comfortable from the inside out to feeling refreshed all over his body.
Originally, in order to complete the final sacrifice to the purple strange flower today, he sprayed out more than a dozen mouthfuls of mana with a large amount of his own vitality regardless of the loss of vitality, which made him feel quite uncomfortable just now.
But now, as the wisps of purple mist were absorbed and refined by Nascent Soul, the lost vitality not only quickly recovered intact, but also caused his cultivation level to increase rapidly, visible to the naked eye.
Zhou Yang has been looking forward to this moment for a long time!
In the past thirty years, he has not made any progress in his cultivation in order to sacrifice this treasure.
Now it's finally time to wait for the harvest.
He only stayed in that comfortable state for a short while, and then he concentrated on using his skills to refine the purple mist.
One year, just one year, Zhou Yang's cultivation level rocketed to the top of the second level of Yuanying, and he was only one step away from being promoted to the third level of Yuanying.
A conservative estimate is that the results of his practice this year are equivalent to two to three hundred years of practice under normal circumstances!
All of this is just because he refined the innate original energy emanating from that strange purple flower.
To be honest, given how precious the innate Qi is, Zhou Yang's pure act of using it to improve his cultivation is tantamount to squandering natural resources.
But he himself didn't see it that way.
First of all, if he does not refine these innate sources of energy, if he wants to reach the third level of Nascent Soul cultivation, he will have to endure at least another hundred years of hard work.
And even if one has reached the third level of Nascent Soul, refining the innate source of Qi can also be said to be a violent use of natural resources.
If you don't use this thing all the time, wouldn't you be like those misers?
What's more, what he really values ​​​​now is no longer these innate sources of energy, but the purple strange flower that he has finished cultivating.
After he refined this object with secret techniques, it has become a special soul magic weapon. It can not only protect his soul from external damage, but also nourish his soul at all times.
With this thing in hand, coupled with the tyranny of his own spiritual consciousness, it can be said that if the true immortal in the Tribulation Stage does not take action, it will be difficult for anyone to use his spiritual consciousness to attack and hurt him with magical powers.
And with this thing in hand, in the future, whether he uses his spiritual consciousness to attack others, or whether he uses a life-saving secret method such as [Blue Blood Burning Soul Technique], he can rely on this after his soul is damaged.
No longer need to take any elixirs or use any spiritual objects.
Finally, this object also has a very strong effect of gathering spiritual energy. With Zhou Yang carrying it, the spiritual energy gathered and activated during practice can be increased by several percent out of thin air, greatly improving the effect of practice.
After his cultivation was only one step short of reaching the third level of Yuanying, Zhou Yang originally wanted to rush to the third level of Yuanying in one go and then exit.
Unfortunately, a sudden news forced him to leave the country early to deal with the matter.
"Senior Qingyang urgently ordered this junior to come here. What's the important matter?"
On Xuanyang Peak, Zhou Yang, who rushed here after receiving the news, looked at Master Qingyang with doubts on his face.
Master Qingyang is clear about the things that he cannot come out of seclusion. It is not a particularly important matter, and the other party should not ask him to come out of seclusion.
"I apologize to fellow Taoist Zhou for disturbing his retreat. It's just that the matter is urgent, and it must be done by fellow Taoist Zhou!"
Master Qingyang bowed his head and apologized to Zhou Yang first.
Then he looked solemn and said with a serious face: "Half a month ago, our sect received an urgent request for help from the immortal world of Beitingzhou, saying that the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss located under the extreme northern ice sheet suddenly suddenly appeared three years ago.
A strange sign broke out, and a large amount of demonic energy poured out from the demonic abyss without restraint, causing all living creatures in the area hundreds of thousands of miles away to become possessed by demons. A large number of demonic cultivators of unknown origins suddenly appeared, driving demonic creatures to hunt and kill immortal cultivators everywhere.
"
"It has only been three short years now. In the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World, seven fellow Yuanyings have died at the hands of demon cultivators. The remaining monks have died at the hands of demon cultivators and monsters. There are no less than one hundred thousand, and as many as tens of millions.
Mortals were brutally slaughtered by demon cultivators in blood sacrifices!"
"Now the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World has sent out distress messages to all the major Immortal Cultivation Worlds, requesting them to send Nascent Soul monks who practice demon-conquering magical powers as soon as possible to slay demons."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou's [Qianyang True Fire] is the nemesis of demonic monks. I'm afraid I'll have to go to the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm together with you to solve this problem!"
Zhou Yang's face suddenly became serious.
The news revealed in Master Qingyang's words is really shocking.
Seven Nascent Soul cultivators perished within three years. In the Liuyun Continent cultivation world, this can only be compared to the calamity caused by the [Splitting Heavenly Demon] after he escaped from trouble.
He looked at Master Qingyang solemnly and asked: "Zhou is naturally responsible for eliminating demons and defending the Tao. But does Senior Qingyang know what is the cause of this demonic chaos in Beitingzhou's Immortal Realm? What about the Ice Sea Demon?"
Yuan suddenly broke out, is there any behind-the-scenes force behind it?"
"I understand what Zhou Daoyou is worried about. The existence of the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss is indeed related to the invasion of the real demon world in ancient times. However, the demon world passage there has long been destroyed in ancient times. The reason why the demonic energy does not dissipate is also
Because there are many space cracks similar to those in the boundless sand sea, it is impossible for creatures in the true demon world to enter this world through those unstable space cracks."
"Furthermore, although several Taoist friends from the Immortal Cultivation World in Beitingzhou have died, they all died at the hands of demon cultivators in this world, and no traces of true demonic creatures have been found."
"Of course, the demonic energy in the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss will definitely not break out for no reason. For the specific reason, our colleagues in the Immortal Cultivation World in Beitingzhou are unable to find out clearly now. We can only investigate after we go to help suppress the demonic chaos.
clear."
As Master Qingyang spoke, he waved his hand and handed a jade slip to Zhou Yang. The jade slip contained information about the origin of the Ice Sea Demon Abyss.
Zhou Yang reached out to take the jade slip and read the contents in detail. After a while, he asked aloud: "Zhou understands. Zhou agreed to this, but I don't know when the senior is going to set off?"
Master Qingyang felt relieved when he saw his promise, and immediately replied: "It's not just our sect that has received the message from the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World asking for help. Now other sects are probably also discussing the matter. I estimate that it will be completed within a month."
There will be results, and Fellow Daoist Zhou still has one month to prepare."
"One month? That's enough!"
Zhou Yang nodded slightly, then said goodbye to Master Qingyang and left Xuanyang Immortal Sect.
Going to the Beitingzhou Immortal Realm to eliminate demons is a big deal. Of course, Zhou Yang must tell his friend Xiao Ying and the Zhou family monks about this matter.
He is not worried about his own safety. With his ability, if he fights with demonic cultivators, he can still save his life even if he encounters those demonic cultivators who are at the "half-step true immortal" level of the ninth level of Nascent Soul.
However, since this demonic chaos can make the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World ask for help from all the Cultivation Worlds regardless of their appearance, it can be seen that its scale must be extremely huge. If it wants to calm down in a short time, it is probably impossible to do so.
Zhou Yang estimated that he might have to stay there for a long time, and maybe the "Millennium Dharma Conference" originally scheduled to be held more than forty years later might be postponed because of this incident.
In this way, he naturally needs to arrange the rear areas to prevent him from being away for too long and causing any trouble here.
A month later, Master Qingyang sent a message as scheduled, asking Zhou Yang to rush directly to Liuyun Immortal City to join him, and together they would take the inter-immortal realm teleportation array there to teleport to Beitingzhou Immortal Realm.
After receiving the news, Zhou Yang immediately rushed to Liuyun Fairy City with his Taoist companion Xiao Ying and demon servant Bi'er.
He brought Taoist companion Xiao Ying with him not only because he wanted to fulfill the promise he made at that time, but also because in this large-scale war among cultivators, Xiao Ying's healing powers can also play a great role and can save many monks injured by demon cultivators.
.
In fact, not only him, but Master Qingyang and other Nascent Soul monks who are preparing to go to the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World to support them will also take their own golden elixir monks who are good at dealing with demonic cultivators and set out with them.
As for monks with lower cultivation levels, that is not necessary. The number of teleportation places in the cross-immortal world teleportation array is also limited, so it cannot be wasted on these people.
